Climate

Victoria has four distinct seasons. It is often said that Melbourne has four seasons in one day.

Summer is December to February (average temperature 25ºC), while winter is June to August (average temperature 14ºC). Summer can be hot, with temperatures above 30ºC and winter is cool to cold. Snow in Melbourne is rare but the mountains, just a few hours drive away, have plenty of snow during the ski season from June to August.
